It will add power just like it does in the 5.0, just not as much, like 3-5 HP going up to 93 from 87.

is this true for the 3.7's too?

As I remember, they're tuned for 91 as 93 isn't available in many states.

American Muscle did a dyno test using 87 vs 93 octane gas on the V-6. The V-6 makes 7 more rear wheel horsepower with 93 octane gas

I did not know that! I thought 93 was available everywhere in the US.

This post should also double in the "What did you learn today" forum.
